Abstract: The present invention includes a method for analyzing an image wherein elements defining a path within a two-dimensional image are received from a prescreener. A Sobel operator may be applied to the region around each of the elements of the chain to obtain a corresponding array of gradient directions. An angle correction may be applied to any of the gradient directions that goes beyond the highest value (in radian measure; the Pi -Pi transition), to obtain an array of gradient directions free of any artificial jumps in value. The gradient direction array (Sobel chaincode) can have its bandwidth taken to determine a single number of straightness so as to identify extremely straight edges, (manmade objects) from less straight edges (natural objects). A similar process can be used to analyze contours for straight sections, which are also parallel. These two and other filters applied to the gradient array can be part of a feature suite, for feature space analysis. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The system for measuring the speed of a ski, sliding over snow or ice, comprises a device for taking a series of images of the snow surface. Displacement is measured by comparison between successive images, and the speed is determined from this displacement.  The system for measuring the speed of a ski, sliding over snow or ice, comprises a device for taking a series of images of the surface over which the ski is sliding. Displacement is measured by comparison between successive images, and the speed is determined from this displacement. The displacement is determined by identifying specific similar patterns in the successive images, then calculating the displacement of the ski by applying a predetermined coefficient of proportionality. A measuring device may be placed on each side of the ski, and calculations done to determine both the longitudinal and the transverse speed of the ski over the snow.
